Stopped by State Police on suspicion of driving while intoxicated Monday morning, the driver identified himself as Carlos Billamarin, 22, of Hampton Bays.
But a fingerprint check revealed a sinister secret life almost a decade in the making, police say.
Billamarin, police said, turned out to be Erick Morales, 27, a fugitive wanted in the 2001 stabbing death of a 15-year-old classmate in Daly City, Calif.
State Troopers Matthew W. Stumpf and Andrew Gargiulo stopped Morales' 2000 Kia Sportage on Springville Road near the Long Island Rail Road station in Hampton Bays Monday at 2:50 a.m.
Police said Morales was renting a room in a private home in Hampton Bays - and for the last four years worked at a restaurant in Water Mill.
He is to be arraigned Wednesday in Southampton on charges of being a fugitive from justice, false personation and DWI, police said. He faces extradition to San Mateo, Calif., where another suspect is on trial in the murder - accused of taking a picture of Morales killing the victim.

"Police said Morales first came to the United States in an illegal border crossing in 2000 and was arrested by the Immigration and Naturalization Service in Arizona, where his fingerprints were first obtained. It is unclear how Morales found his way to Daly City."
